Gem Knights are one of my top 3 favourite archetypes alongside Lightsworn and Dark World. I have so much fun playing with them because they are easy to use, have fast mechanics and are very open to creativity changes. Plus any deck that combines well with Earth attribute is going to be a handy ally to Gem Knights.
Compare the Gem-Knight Archetype to Steven Universe. Gem-Knight Amethyst = Amethyst Gem-Knight Pearl= Pearl Gem-Knight Garnet = Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli = Lapis Lazuli Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond = Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond, Pink Diamond, White Diamond Gem-Knight Ruby = Ruby Gem-Knight Fusion = The way Gems fuse in Steven Universe by dancing. Gem-Knight Sardonyx = Fusion of Garnet and Pearl Gem-Knight Sapphire = Sapphire
I love this archetype. I got it alongside my ghostricks from a friend who was selling competitive prebuilt decks around them and i didn't regret buying them. To this day im trying to improve them as it seems theyre going to get support
The Gem-Knight archetype is really good, too bad it's a bit undereated... People say that fusion deck aren't good, and that it's just a cheap tactic to make weak gems stronger, but I'm sure this deck would not go down at the hands of such people, because it's so much better. But they can go ahead and beat it if they're able... I think they're just mad cause they're single...
They just don't get enough love like other decks, and I feel like people should show respect for them. I like Masumi in Arc V, even though she got one win and got push to the side like Yaiba, she's still my favorite female character in Arc V. I wish that she and her deck got more credit than they were given. T_T
The Duel Terminal was some kind of game that introduced a bunch of archetypes who all participated in some kind of great story; archetypes include Worms, Ally of Justice and Genex. But there's also another story which may or may not be an extension of that same story; which involves a whole lot of other newer archetypes. Archetypes involve Shaddolls, Evilswarm, Qliphorts, Gishki and/or Nekroz, Gusto, etc. Basically, a lot of archetypes seem to have a lot of monsters who borrow from other monsters, like how the Shaddoll fusions are corrupted versions of other monsters. It's really cool how much lore is incorporated in these monsters, it's just hard to figure out which monsters connect in what ways, and I'm still not sure if there's more than one story than just Duel Terminal, or if it has a really long story.
@@iBenjamin1000 I'm a bit late, but yes, the Duel terminal stories are all connected. They all happen in the same world but certain things causes that world to start over such as when Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier froze the surface of the world, then later appearing as an Evilswarm during the battle between the 4 clans and the Steelswarm.
Makes me also wonder if Gem Knights are meant to be a Deck based off the Elemental HEROES and Crystal Beasts together what if the Crystal Beasts became the equivalent of Neo-Spacians to Gem Knights and Konami made Crystal Fusions using the Knights and Beasts as Fusion material Interesting playstyle would be after fusing you can choose to have the Beasts go to the graveyard or to the Spell Trap Zone to be used as Fusion material later or power up the other Beasts
I don't know if anyone noticed, but at 00:51, when he said "Jesse Anderson's Crystal Beasts", there's Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in the left side of Ruby Carbuncle. I guess you could say he's *puts on sunglasses* the 'odd' one out.YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH
there's so much research... i plan on making a yugioh movie based on the duel terminal story where the characters use the decks from the DT and it plays out like the actual story, but with a few added in stuff such as new decks making their way in to keep things interesting
Fun Fact: it's pronounced "Kamen Rider Ohs" or "ozu" in its original Japanese annunciation. Sorry that sounds douchey but I can't think of a different way to word that. I just love Kamen Rider.
I've been watching a lot of your videos, or at least I have them on in the background while I do things... So I figured I would subscribe. Thank you for your fantastic content!
15:08 since Crystal Rose appeared, how about a trivia on Melodious archetype some time later? In the anime, the gem knight girl (i forgot her name) gave this card to Yuzu and she used it well with her deck.
8:16 my head canon for obsidian is they were long ago a laval shaman who with old age there fire began fading but was healed by the obsidian soul and joined the gem knights acting as a medicine woman and mage on the team .and about her appearing male maybe it's the armor/she buff/she T H I C C (I'm so sorry)
the Cairngorgon guy is actually shaddollified, not Evilswarmed. we see his helmet on shaddoll core, then later his full form is returned in El shaddoll grysta, and finally, a crumbling shell in saqlifice
Homage to their “Friendship”. Are you sure that’s all it is? I don’t recall any other friendship being deemed so close and iconic it got immortalized in a separate deck all together.
Oh that's right i heard the story over and over again i'm so glad to finally meet your other gem animals (This is funny because they have non crystal beast gem animals and this is part of a song from steven universe the movie if you didn't get it
I fell in love with this archetype when I pulled a shatter foil prismaura and obsidian from the duel terminal. My mom's lunch money was totally worth it lol
They are a fast and versatile deck. Easy to take opponent down a variety of ways. Fusions support each other in really good ways. Short strategy. Get Lady Diamond out first turn while tributing lazuli or obsidian. You'll get back a level 4 or lower normal monster. Play that monster. Effect it into Topaz. Attack. Win.
Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Crystal(Quartz) Lapis Lazuli, Sardonyx, Ruby&Sapphire and Gem fusion as well as diamonds being the boss (monsters). Yep they're the crystal gems
Simple Gem-Knight Combo: Fusion summon Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond Normal summon any gem knight Activate Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond’s effect to fusion summon Master Diamond by tributing the Gem-Knight monster you normal summoned. Stall time until you can fusion summon Gem-Knight Ruby, where you can activate their effect to tribute Gem-Knight Master Diamond and give Ruby it’s gained ATK points. Hope that was easy to understand
6 fusion cards? Neat, as a shadoll player with 5 fusion cards and with a field spell which basically turns the fusion cards into superpolimerizations I can see the similarities
Gem-Knight is my favourite archetype, I have this cool combo I use a lot and it is simple, you need 2 Brilliant diamonds 2 Phantom Quartzes 1 Ruby 1 other 2 card fusion 3 Gem-Knight monsters in your hand* 1 fusion spell* *Brilliant Fusion And 1 Gem-Knight in your hand also Works 1.Summon your two card fusion and summon the other Gem Knight 2. Link them into Phantom Quartz and add a Gem-Knight monster to your hand 3. Use its other effect and summon Brilliant Diamond 4. Use Diamonds effect to tribute Quartz and summon Ruby 5. Use Ruby's Effect on Diamond to get 5900 ATK Next Turn 6. Summon a Gem-Knight monster from your hand and summon your other Quartz and add another monster to your hand 7. Use Quartz's effect and shuffle The Ruby, the diamond and the quartz to summon the Second Diamond 8. Repeat Steps 4-7 Thats it! It's Quite useful for Legacy of the duelist link evolution and all you need to do is spam Zuzu Packs
We are the crystal clods They always wreck my day By breaking all my stuff By getting in my way Thats why i contacted homeworld There leaving to come to earth to crush those gems, and Steven
I would like to see more GK monsters but I guess we are out of gems by this point ps: 3:08 you gotta love that gishki artwork, I wish to see something like that outside of the japan but the tcg just censors cards with very good plot
Jem Knight saconium is one of my favorite because of how big he is just like the Earth monarch but at the same time His weapon is his 2 giant fist Even without special abilities it's very difficult to be 2900 attack point monster
thanks for the video, gem-knights are like my favorite archtype, my favorite one is lady diamond and topaz, hopefully they get more support cards they need a field spell and im still waithing for "gem-knight opal and peridot and a fusion version of emerald, and i wish crystal was stronger but its too weak, it should at least have 2550 atk

I feel like this archetype would have fit really well in the GX anime
Considering it represents Jesse and Jaden's bond it could fit in a GX sequel with let's say Jesse switching between Crystal Beasts and Gem Knights
Yeah
@@aozorahaou2643, yep, Judai and Johan are a possible couple.
imagine not understanding what a reference is
Also they’re possible romance to eachother
When you just want Ruby and Sapphire to fuse into Garnet.
What would you want that for?

I matched it with Adamancipator to search and place multiple monsters on the field for more materials.
If you're here to make a "Steven Universe" joke 96% of the comment section beat ya to it. -_-
Aw fuck
Haha
Aint gonna stop me for calling gen knight aquamarie a pixie like the steven universe counterpart lookslike
Lmfao son I dead was to
"Fusion is a just cheap trick to make weak gem knights stronger!"-gem knight Jasper, probably
Another thing to note about Lady Diamond is that it seems to be "canonically" summoned via Brilliant Fusion, hence "Brilliant" in its name.
I want to run a Gem Knight deck, but man the Cards are Expensive.
Try Duelingbook or Dueling Nexus.
That is why they’re called gem knights peridot
Amazing video. They need to make a series based on the monsters alone.
I agree it sounded amazing
Wow... That's a very well thought out backstory and very inclusive to other archtypes... I wish others do this in the future.
Hope you enjoyed, don't forget to drop a like. Yugioh GX profile on Friday. Oh and Mob Psycho finale review later tonight.

I love this archetype. I got it alongside my ghostricks from a friend who was selling competitive prebuilt decks around them and i didn't regret buying them.
To this day im trying to improve them as it seems theyre going to get support
Thank you for this!!! Gem Knights and Crystal Beasts are my favorite decks!
Man if Steven Universe ever played YGO we all know which Deck he's using
A random fairy archetype
@?BehindTheMask¿ Why? Steven universe is awesome
@?BehindTheMask¿ well I think Steven universe is awesome and you can't change my mind so don't even fucking try
@?BehindTheMask¿ dude just shut the fuck up you have your opinions and I have mine
@?BehindTheMask¿ look can you please just let me like what I like and leave me alone?
The Gem-Knight archetype is really good, too bad it's a bit undereated...

I think they're just mad cause they're single...
With Magnet Reverse and Foolish Burial with Belongings they have more of a fighting chance.
I see what you did there 😊
steven universe reference nice.
i see what you did there xD
They just don't get enough love like other decks, and I feel like people should show respect for them.

Gem Knight Sapphire seems like the kind of monster card who'd sacrifice his friends to become a God Hand
this are all awesome!!!!! i love the story behind the cards. keep up the great work man
Idk how to say this but gem Knight deck gives me so much main character vibes deck , i could really see a yugioh protagonists with this deck.
Sardonyx is based off the sardonyx stone, not pure onyx....
Sardonyx... is a type of Onyx still... so.... what he said is still true...
No offense but I thought you're last name was seamen sorry
Jimmy Seaman wow your unfortunate sorry man
OMG this archetype lore had sooo many different archetypes involved🤣

so glad you're back love this series.
I never knew odd-eyes was a crystal beast or one of Jesse's cards
Well he hardly used odd-eyes but it was in his Deck.

Gem-Knight Ruby is bae
did anyone else notice tgs put constellar instead of vylon when he sayed the gishki's and gem knight might of teamed up?
I'd like to hear u tell a more in depth version of this backstory. I found that really interesting. Love the content sir. Keep up the good work

Man gem-knights are one of my most favorite archetype I love their designs so much
been waiting for this video for a while, timing could not have been more perfect as I just got the deck. My favorite is crystal.
Er, Great video, I LOVE your series, but... Sardonyx is it's own mineral in terms of classification. It's not just Onyx.
15:08 since Crystal Rose appeared, how about a trivia on Melodious archetype some time later? In the anime, the gem knight girl (i forgot her name) gave this card to Yuzu and she used it well with her deck.
this was so cool. Great vid. You should do the fairytale cards that Leon uses in the anime. Not sure if they're an official archetype.
"kamen rider triple O"...that's funny
The gem-knights and gustos were my two favorite archetypes from the duel terminal.
I can't be the only one seeing a possibility of a solid link with this between Steven Universe and Yu-Gi-Oh.
Whenever I hear contact fusion, I always think of the fusion dance
8:16 my head canon for obsidian is they were long ago a laval shaman who with old age there fire began fading but was healed by the obsidian soul and joined the gem knights acting as a medicine woman and mage on the team .and about her appearing male maybe it's the armor/she buff/she T H I C C (I'm so sorry)

The series is called Kamen Rider O's but it is spelt OOO
also Lazuli is pronounced Lazulee
a few tiny errors but besides that, awesome episode
Homage to their “Friendship”. Are you sure that’s all it is? I don’t recall any other friendship being deemed so close and iconic it got immortalized in a separate deck all together.

I fell in love with this archetype when I pulled a shatter foil prismaura and obsidian from the duel terminal. My mom's lunch money was totally worth it lol
So much trivia. Gishki, steel swarm, gusto, constellation, vylon. Just So Much TRIVIA
Looking forward to using a few of these cards in duel links
Kade Ketterling I came to this video just to learn more about them for duel links. How many gems u got saved? I have 2500
6000 and a 15$ itunes gift gard, im going in for this box.
They are a fast and versatile deck. Easy to take opponent down a variety of ways. Fusions support each other in really good ways.
Short strategy. Get Lady Diamond out first turn while tributing lazuli or obsidian. You'll get back a level 4 or lower normal monster. Play that monster. Effect it into Topaz. Attack. Win.
My favourite is Gem-Knight Ruby its helped me win so many duels
great video man keep up the good work love your vids
the OOO is referred as O's in Kamen Rider OOO, also have you even done trivia on the monsters with a motor bike in the artwork?
YAY!!! I can die happy, thank TGS Anime
Love his accent when pronouncing the gem names
Every time I use Gem-Knight Fusion, Steven Universe's theme plays in my head.
2:07 after Scatter Fusion, there’s 7
we are the crystal gems
Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Crystal(Quartz) Lapis Lazuli, Sardonyx, Ruby&Sapphire and Gem fusion as well as diamonds being the boss (monsters). Yep they're the crystal gems
yeap Hey !! Where is Peridot
And Steven don't forget him.
+i want to be a hero
i LOVE your name
Crystal gems always save the day and if you think we can will always find a way that's why believe in grant amethyst and pearl and Steven
This is probably one of my favorite archetypes in Yu-Gi-Oh
this is my favorite archetype
is it me, or is Gem Knight Zirconia look like Koa'ki Meiru Crusader?
Nice Video btw. Keep it up! Subbed!
Damn that story at the beginning is DOPE!!! Where's the yugioh spin-off about this all-out war?
Simple Gem-Knight Combo:
Fusion summon Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond
Normal summon any gem knight
Activate Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond’s effect to fusion summon Master Diamond by tributing the Gem-Knight monster you normal summoned.
Stall time until you can fusion summon Gem-Knight Ruby, where you can activate their effect to tribute Gem-Knight Master Diamond and give Ruby it’s gained ATK points.
Hope that was easy to understand
6 fusion cards? Neat, as a shadoll player with 5 fusion cards and with a field spell which basically turns the fusion cards into superpolimerizations I can see the similarities
do you have a video for the igknights and Allies of Justice?
0:53 Why is Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon there? I thought it WASN'T a Crystal Beast.

Gem Knights vs Crystal Gems from Steven Universe. MAKE THAT HAPPEN!
I knew the Gustos would have to mentioned here, the duel terminal story was pretty rough for my cards
They’re named after rare crystals?
They can fuse with one another?
They are fighters?
Why is no one else mentioning the Steven Universe parallels?
Someone has probably already pointed this out but it's pronounced i-o-lite, I'm fairly positive it's named for Io of greek mythology
"Kamen Rider Triple O"... ouch
*B I G O O F*
We are the crystal clods
They always wreck my day
By breaking all my stuff
By getting in my way
Thats why i contacted homeworld
There leaving to come to earth to crush those gems,

Out of all the Gem Knights the Gem Knight Crystal has to be my favorite
I would like to see more GK monsters but I guess we are out of gems by this point
ps: 3:08 you gotta love that gishki artwork, I wish to see something like that outside of the japan but the tcg just censors cards with very good plot
there are a lot of gems not used so who knows, I just hope they make a gem knight syncro and pendulum monsters
gem knights will always be my favourite
Hey, at 2:08, where did you find that piece of art?
great video! please can you do the Cubic Archetype for the new movie! :)
The backstory would make a fun spin-off series
u should do the duel terminal trivia and all there arc types
Jem Knight saconium is one of my favorite because of how big he is just like the Earth monarch but at the same time His weapon is his 2 giant fist Even without special abilities it's very difficult to be 2900 attack point monster
Man
I love that ma card boi knows kamen riders
Can you do the whole Cyber Dragon and Ancient Gear archetypes?
“Crystal beasts” shows picture that has odd eyes and 2 other whatever’s
"He wields a slingblade"
Mmmmhhmmm.... Gem Knight taters
Also forgetting that Daigusto Emeral and Lavalval Ignis are the Gem Knights working together. with the Gusto and Lavals
Could you do the "Red-Eyes" archetype? It's my fave.
Have you done a video on the Igknights yet?
I would like to see a updated version of this with Gem-Knight Phantom Quartz in it
It hurt my heart every time he said lolite instead of iolite.
thanks for the video, gem-knights are like my favorite archtype, my favorite one is lady diamond and topaz, hopefully they get more support cards they need a field spell and im still waithing for "gem-knight opal and peridot and a fusion version of emerald, and i wish crystal was stronger but its too weak, it should at least have 2550 atk
In duel links, lady diamond and topaz almost always win you the match on a 2nd turn start.
I made this deck for one of my friends. She rarely plays, but likes this deck due to her being a fan of Steven Universe
